Seeing the World One Step at a Time

Art, Beauty, History, and Cuisine on the English Riviera

November 9, 2019 by Samantha PriestleyLeave a Comment

Along with my partner, I recently took a short trip down to the English Riviera where I found beauty, history, and the most incredible food! We were lucky with the weather, the sun shone the whole time we were there and the air was warm and balmy, but I imagine this place is almost as scenic when the weather isn’t as accommodating. This part of Devon is best known for Torquay, home of Faulty Towers, but we wanted something a little more off the … [Read more...]

Guide to Cinque Terre

May 10, 2019 by Adrienne ClementLeave a Comment

The Cinque Terre is a collection of 5 colourful villages built in the Cliffside in the Italian Riviera.  I've had Cinque Terre on my bucket list ever since I saw an iconic photo of this part of Italy in National Geographic. When I was planning my trip to France and Italy in the Summer of 2017, I knew I wanted to check it out.  It was the perfect stop between Nice and Florence; it took about 5 hours to get to the Cinque Terre by train … [Read more...]

Celebrating The Willard InterContinential’s Rich Washington DC Heritage

January 1, 2019 by Steve MirskyLeave a Comment

Just two blocks from the White House and within walking distance to everything the nation's capitol has to offer, it's easy to see why The Willard InterContinental in Washington DC is known as the "Residence of Presidents" and has remained an anchor in a town that's undergone countless transformations over the hotel's 200 year existence. In 1862, National Hawthorne wrote, "The Willard may be much more justly called the center of Washington … [Read more...]

Riviera Cancun: Secrets Silversands Resort

February 23, 2015 by Ariane Colenbrander5 Comments

Secrets Silversands Resort

Looking at numerous websites, Trip Advisor reviews, and tips from friends, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a travel destination and resort. My husband and I wanted to visit the Riviera Maya this month, in a location away from the thumping of Cancun or Playa del Carmen. What we found was Puerto Morelos, a smaller town smack in between the two, yet close enough to get to the Mayan ruins while enjoying the warm, tropical breezes of … [Read more...]

Real World vs. Real Time Casino Games

February 16, 2015 by Rio SLeave a Comment

When people hear the word “casino,” they don’t necessarily think of the smoky, stuffy rooms of yesteryear crowded with wealthy men at the craps table with cigars hanging out of their mouths and young women hanging on their arms. While those lucky gentlemen may still be a presence, casinos today from Las Vegas to Monaco and everywhere in between offer hundreds if not thousands of games to players of all ages – and some even boast a smoke-free … [Read more...]

A Week at the Beach on Isla Mujeres

February 15, 2014 by Sarah Fazendin1 Comment

Can we all just agree that Cancun isn’t really all that great? After all, it’s a man-made vacation destination bogged down by mammoth, cheap all-inclusive resorts with lots of drunk tourists. Having said that, the weather there is great, the beaches are stunning and it’s super easy to get to. With a little extra planning and venturing beyond the main Hotel Zone, a perfect week at the beach in Mexico is absolutely possible! It’s not far by … [Read more...]
